2010 Summer HD Festival Starts Tonight
It’s time for the 2010 season of another fabulous series at Lincoln Center. The Met’s Summer HD Festival, with a hugely popular debut in summer 2009, returns tonight, bringing screenings of ten productions from the company’s Peabody and Emmy Award-winning Live in HD series. The HD productions will be shown for free in Lincoln Center Plaza (near Columbus and 64th) on consecutive nights. While the events are free, no rain dates are scheduled and there are only 2,800 seats, with seating on a first-come, first-served, so be sure to get there early. The series kicks off tonight at 8:00 pm with Luc Bondy’s season-opening new production of Puccini’s Tosca, starring Karita Mattila and Marcelo Álvarez.
